Gone for good.
A black box drawn in a PDF editor can often be peeled off. ReportRedact rebuilds each page as an image with the boxes burned in, so there is no hidden text left for anyone to recover.
- Every page flattened, metadata stripped
- Automatic check reopens the file before download
- Download is blocked if anything fails
- Optional searchable, screen-reader-friendly output
Security
Your files stay on your machine.
Documents are opened, reviewed and exported inside your browser. Our servers handle sign-in and billing only, so there is no copy of your files for anyone to breach.
Processed on your device
Detection, OCR and export all run locally. No cloud AI, no uploads.
Nothing stored
Close the tab and the documents are gone. We only keep your organization’s settings.
Works offline
Install it like an app. Pull the network cable and it keeps working.
Questions
Are public records uploaded to a vendor cloud?
No. Documents are opened and redacted inside your browser, so records never upload to our servers.
Can we apply exemption codes to each redaction?
Yes. Use an admin-managed code list so a whole office applies the same exemption codes, and export a log of what was removed.
Can we keep redactions consistent across a large response?
Load every file for a request, apply the same names and terms across all of them, and hold unreviewed files back from export.
